Summer in the City necessitates locating sanctuaries. Finding hidden gems of peace in the urban landscape is easier than you think. In the East Village there are 40-some-odd gardens alone, urban oases. Le Petit Versaille and The Secret Garden may entice - but some of the most enchanting sanctuaries are named after avenues, such as 6BC (6th Street btwn avenues B and C) and Sixth Street & Avenue B. In these spaces you may dream of faraway places or you may appreciate the zen in the moment, right where you are.
